Ethyl oxoacetate → Ethyl 3-cyclopropyl-2-hydroxy-propanoate

関与物質

反応手順

Under argon and with ice cooling, a solution of 5.4 g (purity 50%, 26.7 mmol) of ethyl oxoacetate in 50 ml of THF was quickly added dropwise to 7.6 g (48 mmol, 1.8 eq.) of bromo(cyclopropylmethyl)magnesium. The reaction mixture was stirred for another 48 h, diluted with ethyl acetate and quenched with water. Celite was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 min and then filtered. After phase separation, the organic phase was washed once with water, dried (sodium sulphate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Yield: 2.6 g (60% of theory)
